City farm in London, England
51°31′19″N 0°04′01″W / 51.522°N 0.067°W / 51.522; -0.067Spitalfields City Farm is a city farm in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, a short distance from Brick Lane.[2]
The farm was opened in 1978 on a 1.3-acre (0.53 ha) wasteland site that was a former railway goods depot. Initially an allotment site, it expanded to house animals, and became a charity in 1980.[1]
Since 2008 the farm has held an annual "Oxford vs Cambridge Goat Race", coinciding with and parodying The Boat Race on the River Thames.[3][4]
